President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington, D.C. on March 19.

The talk surrounding the coronavirus and how to fight it shifted even more dramatically this week. The Federal Reserve jumped in with more emergency measures, President Trump started talking about bailouts and economists made ever-direr predictions about economic growth, all while infection numbers increased rapidly. Some state governors are telling peopleto stay home.

President Trump signed a bill led by House of Representative Democrats to provide paid leave for workers affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and expanded coronavirus testing. Now bipartisan consensus is building for a very large package of relief that could be signed into law as quickly as next week.
